There are envelope made with cardboard that canadapost used to send full panel stamps. Those envelopes come in many different sizes and the large one can easily fit a stack of legal size paper.
But serious, I think the reason is simply the Mint only have stocked up a few different sizes of boxes and envelopes.

Oh man my heart would have been pounding if I received that box, hoping for something other then what you received today... What a waste of packaging......

Shipping was 7.99 but I ordered a bunch of other stuff also with that shipping rate....everything was either backordered or not available yet..so they sent the one item in the order they had in stock.

I requested some COA some time ago. Typical COA, 4x4cm. It came in cardboard they use for 1-2 coins (~21x14x5 cm)

The three 20-4-20 hockey coins I ordered came in a cardboard box a few days ago. What a waste! I was hoping for something else in the box.

i got a bit of a smaller box, it had all the packing in it, and there was just 1 hockey 20 for 20 coin in it. Not the 7 coins I was expecting all together..

Looks like the Mint employee who handled that shipment must have had "brain in neutral".

It's like when you opened up the box, the contents shrunk. hahaha...
